FACTS FOR eRuMsLERs.
What ths Present Administration Has
Done for the Country.


All the Republican State conventions
held :ais year ..arraign'' the present
Democratic Administration, and all
that are yet to be held will do the
same thing. That is the first duty of
Republican convention, and one
that should meet and adjourn without
going through the perfunctory sol
emnity would be hell recreant to the
party. What else can they do? When
they look to the National capital, they
see a Democratic President in the place
where Republicans have sat for so
long time that they had come to re-
gard it as an appendage to their party
and all that is left them is to gnash
their teeth in helpless rage and EAR
raign" the new Administration.
One convention bases its arraign-
ment on the battle-fag business; an
other on the turning OF some Republic
ans out of office; but all arrangements
are about some trifing thing that is
passing out of the public mind.
This Democratic Administration has
done some things that its Republican
predecessors never attempted, nor
ever thought OF. 1t landed a force of
marines on the Isthmus of Panama to
protect American property during
revolutionary outbreak, and. in doing
SO, gave the first suggestion of Wig
Orous and determined foreign policy
we have had for twenty-five years. 1t
reversed the public lands policy of
fl c successive Republican Administra-
tions-a policy in the interest of rail-
road companies, cattle corporations
and alien claimants-and inaugurated
the new and better policy of reclaim
ing the public lands for actual home
stead settlers. These distinctive DEM
Ocratic measures the Republican con-
ventiOns take no notice of. They pass
over the improved commercial and in
dustrial condition of the country, so
marked in its contrast with the dismal
depression that prevailed for three
years before President Cleveland en-
tered Office; and they likewise leave
unmentioned the prudent management
of the-public finances, the large pay
ments on the public debt, and the
vigorous prosecution of the work of
rebuilding navy which, under Repub-
lican management, had dwindled to a
few old tubs.
The American people have eyes to
see, and in spite of all the arraigning
resolutions of Republican conventions
they perceive that the condition of the
country is better, and its future bright
er this day, than they were for years
under Republican administrations, and
they are in no mood for a change to
the old state of things. st Louis Re

According to letter from Litch-
field, Ill, members of the G. A. r.
in that community are interested in
the position taken by Mr.. Abram
BrOkaw, an old soldier and Repub-
ican, who had applied for admission
into the Grand Army, but who has
withdrawn his application on account
of what he considered indications of
partisanship in the organization. He
states his position forcibly in the fol-
lowing letter:
SOUTH LITCHFIELD, ILL.,. Sept. 40 the

WONDERS OF THE SEA.
Its Great Depth, Deceptive Waves and
Power OF Evaporation.


The sea occupies three-fifths of the
surface of the earth. At the depth of
about $500 feet waves are not felt.
The temperature is the same. varying
only trifie from the ice of the pole to
the sun of the equator. A mile down
the. water has a pressure of over ton
to the square inch. II box of six feet
deep was filled with sea water and al
lowed to ey;tporate under the sun,
there would two inches of salt left on
the bottom. Taking the average depth
of the ocean to be three miles, there
would be layer of pure salt 230 feet
thick on the bed of the Atlantic. The
water is colder at the bottom than at
the surface. In the many bays on the
coast of NOrwas the water often freezes
at the bottom before it does above.
Waves are very deceptive. To look
at them in storm one would think the
water Travelled. The water stays in the
same place but the motion goes on.
Sometimes in storms these waves are
forty feet high and travel fifty mil&s an
hour-mOre than twice rs fast as the
swiftest steamer. The distance from
valley to valley is generally fifteen
times the height, hence wave five feet
high will extend over seventy-fve feet
of water. The force of the dashing on
Bell Rock is said to be seventeen tons
for each square yard. Evaporation is
a wonderful power in drawing the water
from the sea Every year layer of the
entire sea fourteen feet thick is taken
up into the clouds.
The winds bear their burden into the
land, and the water c2mes down in rain
upon the fields, to flow back at last
through rivers. The depth eff the sea
presents An interesting problem. If
the Atlantic was lowered 6,554 feet,
the distance from shore to Shore would
be half as great, or 1900 miles. II
lowered little more than three miles,
say 1859 feet, there would be road
of dry land from Newfoundland to Ire
land. THIS is the plane on which the
great Atlantic cables were laid. The
Mediterranean is comparatively shall
low. The drying up of $50 feet would
leave three different seas, and Africa
would be Joined with Italy. The British
Channel is more like pond, which ac-
counts for its choppy waves.

CHAPTER XIII

The curtains were pulled down, the
big kerosene-lamp lighted, and Miss
Smith, at the head of the dining-room
table, was pouring out the tea, on the
evening when the arrival of j. II. A.
was expected.
81 s'pose the stage'll be late; it
always is when there's any thing of i'm
portance on hand" observed Miss
Smith, glancing disconsolately at the
pale-faced clock, whose hands pointed
to the hour of seven.
''Dear me, 1 hope notr said Mrs.
Mason; ''for. to tell the truth, ever
since l heard about Tad and the mys-
FERROUS sachel, have been fairly de-
vOured with curiosity to know its con-
tents"
''Of course, Miss Smith. you've got

to biscuit as he spoke.

A TOUCHING REUNION.
An Incident Which Does Not Accord witt
Republican Sectionalism.

Republican Sectionalism.
While Republican orators and jour-
mails are appealing to old sectional an
imosities springing from slavery, the
soldiers of the Blue and the Gray are
constantly meeting for friendly inter-
course. One of the most striking of
such reunions was that recently held
at Bardstown, in Kentucky. 1t was
the annual festival of the First Ken
lucky Confederate Infantry Brigade,
known as the Orphan Brigade. The
spirit of the ex-Confederate soldiers
may be inferred from the following
remarks of Judge Fulton in his address
of welcome:
1t is rare occurrence In the history OF hui
man affairs for the followers of a lost cause to
meet in annual reunion to celebrate the glories
of their defeat, and sing the pBans not OF vic
tory, but Of failure. and TO exhibit with pardon
able pride the trophies OF their disaster. - And
so it is soldiers Of the Orphan Brigade, para
doxical as it may seem. while winning you have
lost, while losing you have won You have lost
divided country; you have won a united land.
You have lost the institution of slavery: you
have won a land with air too pure and free for
slave to breathe. You have lost the bonnie
blue flag, Gear TO your heart its own ruddy
drops; you have won the star spangled banner
that indeed and in truth waves ''o'er the land
of the free and the home OF the brave" You
have won the respect and admiration of the
civilized world for a course sustained with such
indomitable courage against the most over
whelming odds. . On the third day of July,
1863, amidst lurid hell of smoke and flame,
you or your compatriots lost Gettysburg. the
high-water mark OF your enterprise; on the
third day OF July, 1887, under a SKY of clouGless
sp,endor, with the enrolling wave of gray meet
ing the resisting line of blue in peace, amity
and brotherly love, you won Gettysburg.
At the dinner Captain Thomas Speed,
a Boy in Blue, responded to the toast
''Our guests the Federal soldiers, and
in frank speech he stated eloquently
the position of Kentucky Union men,
and hailed as the great result of the
war the end of the curse of sectional
ism. Such incidents and the feelings
from which they spring are without
precedent in history, and they are
just reasons for the truest National

at which retort Mr.. Mason laughed,
and passed his preserye-dish for >
second installment.
"How will Mr.. j. 81. A. find his
way here" asked Mrs. Mason, after a
brief pause.
"Tad's gone up to Potter's to meet
him." returned Miss Smith, glancing
into the teapot-''Potters" being the
old-time country tavern where the stage
coach stopped, and from whence it
started. A little general conversation
ensued, and then, rising from the table,
Mr.. and Mrs. Mason stepped out on
the piazza, to enjoy the cool of evening,
while Miss Smith called Samantha to
her own supper.
